It ain't all that special....

[mbroberg]

but since it is the first and only thing I have made on a lathe that involves the use of a face plate I thought I'd share it. It's a Satin Nickel money clip with a black, "Original Cactus Blank". It really wasn't that hard either! :biggrin:

Anytime you add a new skill to your repertoire it is special. Thanks for sharing Mike.

I like it, although I'm having trouble envisioning the faceplate you mounted it on for turning.

Thanks everyone! :biggrin:

Cindy,
Yes, it is one of Mesquiteman's products.

Dave,
It's just a standard face plate. Curtis has a nice tutorial on his website about turning the money clips and key rings. http://www.turntex.com/index.php?op...ing-money-clip-medallions&catid=39&Itemid=108

Looks great! I'm also impressed that you're in this hobby and have that much extra cash! :wink: :tongue: :biggrin:
